BA (Hons) Anthropology

At Winchester we take a broad approach to the discipline of anthropology. Through modules in social anthropology, biological anthropology and archaeology, you will embark on a fascinating exploration of human cultures and behaviours across the past and present. Classes draw on archaeological evidence, the long-term perspective of human evolution, and present-day examples from societies around the world.

You will learn from experts in the field with interests in diverse areas such as human osteology, religion and society, art and cultural heritage, or migration and transnationalism. Through external visits and opportunities to work with archaeological materials, including an important collection of human skeletal remains, the course provides a balance between academic learning and practical experience. As an anthropology student, you learn how to understand, interpret and respond to human behaviour.

Alongside such specialist skills, you also develop valuable transferable skills highly prized by employers, including the ability to think critically, communicate your ideas and opinions clearly and work both independently and collaboratively. Anthropology is part of the School of Humanities. Pre-approved for a Masters If you study a Bachelor Honours degree with us, you will be pre-approved to start a Masters degree at Winchester.

To be eligible, you will need to apply by the end of March in the final year of your degree and meet the entry requirements of your chosen Masters degree
